Embrace Nutrition Counseling

In lieu of the GLP-1 conversations that can be loud and overwhelming - especially for our clients in recovery, I co-wrote a short reflection and grounding exercise as a gentle tool to help pause, come back into the body, and reconnect with personal values beneath the noise.

Sharing this as a resource for both individuals navigating these decisions and clinicians supporting clients through them. Thanks for Georgia McArtney at McArtney Nutrition for doing this with me!

August is Fat Liberation Month, an annual celebration dedicated to promoting fat positivity and challenging fatphobia.

One way Rock Recovery works to challenge fatphobia, this month and every month, is providing therapy through a Health At Every Size® lens - what does this mean exactly?

💚 We respect the inherent diversity of all body shapes and sizes.
💚 We take a non-diet approach to treatment, and instead, focus on promoting healthy behaviors to clients, such as intuitive eating.
💚 We support movement that brings true joy and wellness to one's lifestyle, instead of focusing on movement for things such as weight loss.

This month is all about the freedom to be yourself, and the belief that ALL bodies are good bodies. How are you going to celebrate this Fat Liberation Month? Let us know in the comments below!

P.S. - If you are looking for support on your own journey to liberation, we'd be honored to help. Check out our eating disorder therapy services at the link below!
